I thought "I wonder if there is anything on the internet about this house?". There sure was! Thanks!

[@JeffsTagtripp]

The google maps location is correct. It is possible to lineup the trees from the tv-show to google street view.
The house you can see in the backgrond in the tv-show was a barn and it is long gone.
Chimneys were removed when the house was moved.
Some of the furniture inside Villa Villekulla is original like the sofa.
Thank you for the video.

The sofa was the first thing I noticed! I have to say, they did an incredible job of re-dressing the interior. I'd previously seen photos and until this video, assumed they _had_ filmed them in the house based on them.

I was in Gotland summer of -68 and have a photo of Villa Villekulla and the Google map person is right, it was not located on a gravel road but next to an asphalt road and I was taking the photos from the road. You where not allowed inside the fence. My photos match exactly the google location.

This video was so much fun!! Thank you so much for dedicating these episodes to the Pippi series/films for those of us that will likely never have the opportunity themselves.

[@Cocovens]

Awesome content as always, the amount of views you get really doesn't live up to what your quality deserves.

[@NEALPUCCISWEDEN]

[@NEALPUCCISWEDEN]

if I had the money I would make my house. just like this house love the balcony.

[@NEALPUCCISWEDEN]

love this house love the movie music

Thank you very much for making this video. I'm 23 and I loved Pippi Calzelunghe (that's the name in Italian) so much. I visited Sweden 2 years ago and I loved it so much, the atmosphere was exactly like in the film. You made a fantastic video. Hopefully a lot more people will watch it

The place on Google Maps is absolutely the right location. I've studied the Street View footage and you can still recognise the trees surrounding the house. The white gate was at the asphalt road, with three trees on the right and three trees on the left of it. The view is still the same (but there are way more bushes now). The trees on the other side of the road (and the gravel road crossing the asphalt road) also appear in some scenes in the background and are still very recognisable. The big tree in the meadow on the other side of the road must be gone, it's not there anymore, but the forest in the far background is the same as 55 years ago. Someone placed a 360-view on the place as well; I had to puzzle a little because everything is overgrown with plants, grass and shrubs - but it surely matches the film footage.

A nice trip into nostalgia land. Thank you.

Will you be doing Ronja Rövardotter, Madicken, Emil i Lönneberga or perhaps Vi på Saltkråkan?
Bröderna Lejonhjärta would be awesome too.
😊

[@MatthiasSchwarzerEnglish]

Not this year, but it‘s all on my list. 🙂

[@linusfotograf]

@@MatthiasSchwarzerEnglish Cool. I hope you know the shows even though I wrote the original titles for them.

[@mauriziocolella8150]

Thank you a lot! You did the thing I've always dreamed! BTW: did you find also the Tommy and Annika home?

[@NEALPUCCISWEDEN]

cool video

[@koantao8321]

I'm a pensioner however I never watched a complete Pippi movie or episode, not my liking, just too crazy.
Yet, I watched this video because I realise the cultural impact of this series was huge at the time and it definitely belongs now to Swedish heritage.

[@NEALPUCCISWEDEN]

[@NEALPUCCISWEDEN]
